The Transfers Thread

Gareth Bale on Sky Sports: "I have had offers from Manchester United and Real Madrid. If I leave Spurs, I would still like to stay in England."

Quoting someone else again I see

Dunno why people quote what footballers say. They're all lying shits.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

But that is promising yes

Bugger off you lot!! Bale is ours!!!

I would have thought Bale himself is credible. Maybe I should post a Tribal Football link instead?

Interesting comments from Bale though.

I'm sure Tottenham would have preferred him to not say anything.

Think he's just a bit upset. Hopefully a chat with AVB will sort things out. ITK buzz is that we either spend or Bale will 100% go elsewhere.

Looks like the days of Spurs getting "baled" out is numbered. Real will make a stupid offer which levy can't refuse.

Gervinho linked with a move to Lyon. windyhill might be happier with that news than finishing 4th.

Tor-Kristian Karlsen (formerly worked as a chief scout at Leverkusen and Zenit St Petersburg before becoming AS Monaco's sporting director, currently working as their CEO and as an occasional columnist for The Guardian) believes Kyriakos Papadopoulos will be joining Liverpool for around £15-17m.

I'm not exactly sure how in the loop he is but I'd imagine as a former scout and current CEO of Monaco he'd be in circles where that sort of information would be passed around. Hopefully he's right on this one.

Not getting my hopes up from what Bale has said, I think he is very Real Madrid bound.

You sell him and you get two excellent players minimum.

Spurs interest me greatly. If they invest well they would be something excellent.

A big striker would be good.

Quite surprised that Bale would have said anything about leaving Spurs (even if he intended to).

Be pretty pissed off if I was a Spurs fan, That's as much a "come and get me" plea as you generally get from footballers.

Few other reports that Bale will sign a new contract at Spurs any day with a £50m buyout at the end of next season.

Quotes are fake it turns out.

I refuse to believe that S_G would've posted false information from an unreliable source

I find this hard to believe. But still, positive signs coming from the Emirates.

 

[Cruyff14]

Now he has to really, doesn't have much of a choice.

If we go trophyless next season I can't see the likes of Podolski, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Per etc. willing to stay on.

 

[Cruyff14]

Vermaelen can leave now.

Sagna seen going to Malaga with his wife and agent. His kids aren't with him so it doesn't sound like his going on holiday.

I agree. Funnily enough it will continue the 'selling captain' record.

Sagna leaving Arsenal is old news. Wasn't he tipped to go to France or Russia?

malaga couldn't afford sagna. or anyone really. pretty sure they have creditors still to pay off.

Fox Sports are reporting that Gareth Bale has put pen to paper on a new deal worth 200k a week.
